Yamaoka Yasuhiro - Yeppie's "Euroid" (1999-2003)

Yamaoka Yasuhiro Yeppie's "Euroid"

01. Yet Ain't Hot Tonight
02. Practice of Romance
03. Light Me Up
04. Yet Ain't Hot Tonight 03

It began suddenly at my friend's BBS I used to visit. His idea was called Eurobeat feast, and I decided to make a track for this idea. 2 or 3 hours later, I completed Yet Ain't Hot Tonight. This is not exactly a Eurodance tune, but I uploaded this on the BBS. Unexpectedly, this tune was welcomed, so, I made two more, and called these three Euroid.
4 years later, my friend asked me to make an updated version of Yet Ain't Hot Tonight. In July, Yet Ain't Hot Tonight 03 was totally updated using Orion: music workstation software.



All files composed by Yeppie (Yamaoka Yasuhiro), April-May/1999.

Yamaoka Yasuhiro - Blind Loops (1999)

Yamaoka Yasuhiro Blind Loops

01. Vacuum Loop
02. Whooper Loop
03. Sleepy Loop

Hammerhead feast began at friend's BBS. Hammerhead is the rhythm machine simulator, but I misunderstood it as a loop player. Because I didn't have it. I started to make these tunes with DigitalPerformer. But I couldn't hear any sound through it while I was working on it. Anyway, the results are unexpectingly interesting to me.

Liq (1995)

YOFonts Liq Liq was designed from my need to have a Liquid Crystal Display font for a project I was asked to do. I did not have access to any fonts intended to express numbers in the 7 segment LCD format, so I decided to make my own. Later, I found that there are many LCD fonts available on the web, but I prefer my own alternative. Liq is designed by Yamaoka Yasuhiro 1995.

These chosen sound files are from my very early recordings in 1977 to 1987. I used to play with various electric devices which include Compact Cassette Tape recorders, turntables, airwaves receivers, etc, and with several musical instruments since 1975. These devices spreaded out my sound experiences. I began collecting various sounds around me. Sometimes, recorded with my musical instrument playings.
My very private label; Scribble Records was made to release my collections in 1982. The name of this label comes from my first collection's title in 1975: The Scribbling Days. Most of files in The Memorial Junk are from Scribble Records releases.
